PERFORMANCE NOTES:
JOURNEY TO THE SUMMIT is an exciting piece full of drive and strength. A very popular concert and general performance piece. A strong sense of rhythm can be achieved through accurate attention to bowing [use short sharp bows - keeping the bow on the string for rests] The second section has a divi part for Violin 1 allowing stronger players to shift briefly into third position. To help create a powerful sound, encourage players to accent the first beats of each bar and to follow the dynamic markings throughout. Independent Cello and Double Bass parts are included. [Double bass line can be played by Cello if no Double bass is available.]
